Don't bother
I bought these to work with a couple of blind children. I knew they would be small but I didn't expect them to be that small. Cheap quality-my daughter was checking out one and it broke within minutes. The sound is barely audible--not what I expected or needed.

These are so cute, but much smaller than i would have imagined! Think two inches or the size of my index finger.

VERY SMALL
I got these for the Conga line at my wedding. These would fit into someones drink, not in your hands¿¿¿ much to small for anything. Returning right away.

Fun as part of party decor
I bought a few sets and used them as part of the decorations on our tables at a recent fiesta themed party. They were great and added color to the table. My only complaint is they were a bit small. I knew the dimension from the description but I just had it in my head they were going to be a bit bigger. Still cute though.

I'm not size wise!
I didn't read the dimensions before I ordered this product (which is my fault), I was expecting them to be a little bigger. However, for the price, they are an excellent value and they still perform the function that I needed.

Very little
I wish I had noticed the size of these little things the first time. They are about the length of an adult ring finger.... way too small for preschool age children in my opinion. Also, one or two were cracked which also does not make them safe for little ones in my opinion.

Teeny tiny maracas, even for a toddler
Bought these maracas expecting something small enough to be easy for young toddlers to play music with: they are extremely small (not sure they are 2 3/4 inches but rather 2 inches). Even for my 2years old they are too tiny. Needless to say one cannot make music with. Maybe a good table decoration for a party.
I ended up stuffing them in easter eggs: they are slightly bigger but not by much.
